The American people can now more readily "understand" why the Obama's were omitted from the guest list to the Royal wedding in April! This is a very sobering article. Our handling of relationships with the Britons over the oil spill didn't help either.

From The London Daily Telegraph Editor On Foreign Relations

Quote:

"Let me be clear: I'm not normally in favor of boycotts, and I love the American people. I holiday in their country regularly, and hate the tedious snobby sneers against the United States . But the American people chose to elect an idiot who seems hell bent on insulting their allies, and something must be done to stop Obama's reckless foreign policy, before he does the dirty on his allies on every issue."

One of the most poorly kept secrets in Washington is President Obama's animosity toward Great Britain , presumably because of what he regards as its sins while ruling Kenya (1895-1963).

One of Barack Hussein Obama's first acts as president was to return to Britain a bust of Winston Churchill that had graced the Oval Office since 9/11. He followed this up by denying Prime Minister Gordon Brown, on his first state visit, the usual joint press conference with flags.

The president was "too tired" to grant the leader of America 's closest ally a proper welcome, his aides told British journalists.

Mr. Obama followed this up with cheesy gifts for Mr. Brown and the Queen. Columnist Ian Martin described his behavior as "rudeness personified." There was more rudeness in store for Mr. Brown at the opening session of the United Nations in September. "The prime minister was forced to dash through the kitchens of the UN in New York to secure five minutes of face time with President Obama after five requests for a sit down meeting were rejected by the White House", said London Telegraph columnist David Hughes. Mr. Obama's "churlishness is unforgivable", Mr.. Hughes said.

The administration went beyond snubs and slights last week when Secretary of State Hillary Clinton endorsed the demand of Argentine President Cristina Kirchner, a Hugo Chavez ally, for mediation of Argentina 's specious claim to the Falkland Islands , a British dependency since 1833. The people who live in the Falklands, who speak English, want nothing to do with Argentina . When, in 1982, an earlier Argentine dictatorship tried to seize the Falklands by force, the British -- with strong support from President Ronald Reagan -- expelled them.

"It is truly shocking that Barack Obama has decided to disregard our shared history," wrote Telegraph columnist Toby Young. "Does Britain 's friendship really mean so little to him?" One could ask, does the friendship of anyone in the entire world mean anything to him?

"I recently asked several senior administration officials, separately, to name a foreign leader with whom Barack Obama has forged a strong personal relationship during his first year in office," wrote Jackson Diehl, deputy editorial page editor of the Washington Post, on Monday. "A lot of hemming and hawing ensued." One official named French President Nicolas Sarkozy, but his contempt for Mr. Obama is an open secret. Another named German Chancellor Angela Merkel. But, said Mr. Diehl, "Merkel too has been conspicuously cool toward Obama."

Mr. Obama certainly doesn't care about the Poles and Czechs, whom he has betrayed on missile defense. Honduras and Israel also can attest that he's been an unreliable ally and an unfaithful friend. Ironically, our relations with both Israel and the Palestinian Authority have never been worse. Russia has offered nothing in exchange for Mr. Obama's abandonment of missile defense. Russia and China won't support serious sanctions on Iran. Syria's support for terrorism has not diminished despite efforts to normalize diplomatic relations. The reclusive military dictatorship that runs Burma has responded to our efforts at "engagement" by deepening its ties to North Korea .

And the Chinese make little effort to disguise their contempt for him.

For the first time in a long time, the President of the United States is actually distrusted by its allies and not in the least feared by its adversaries. Nor is Mr. Obama now respected by the majority of Americans. Understandably focused on the dismal economy and Mr. Obama's relentless efforts to nationalize and socialize health care, Americans apparently have yet to notice his dismal performance and lack of respect in the world community. They soon will.

Guess I'm not up to speed on the gossip, didn't realize the POTUS and family hadn't been invited. I'm not surprised though, does anyone else remember their royal visit last year? The same one where our fearless (or is that feckless) leader gave the Queen an ipod loaded with his speeches? And then there was Michele trying to get clubby with Her Majesty. I still snicker over the sight of her draping her long arm around the Queen who though she tried valiantly, could not conceal the stiffened posture and curled upper lip when Michele spit in her ear. Priceless.

I believe Americans have noticed. It really is an epic failure. In no area of foreign policy does he shine unless you consider displaying subservient behavior (bowing to world leaders) shining.

Nutty hoax email has Right-wing Americans on my case

By Alex Singleton Politics Last updated: June 30th, 2010

39 Comments Comment on this article
Suddenly I’ve become a poster boy for the Republican Right. It started when Fox News linked to a blog I’d written suggesting, not terribly seriously, that Brits ought to boycott America in retaliation against Barack Obama’s refusal to support us in the Falklands.
Now thousands of emails are being forwarded around the US – particularly in southern states such as Texas – quoting me. The Telegraph’s reader-relations department is being innundated with queries asking if I really called for a boycott of America. And Google tells me that quotes from the post now appear in hundreds of websites.
This would all be fine, except that after the first paragraph in the email, it transforms into a rant about “Barack Hussein Obama”, using bizarre language that certainly isn’t mine. No doubt this email appeals to the nuttier supporters of the Republican Party, for whom politics has ceased to be about principles and is now all about smearing opponents with false accusations about their nationalities and their patriotism. It also contains the delusional claim that Reagan supported Thatcher over the Falklands (he didn’t) and denounces Obama for failing to suck up to Gordon Brown (as if that was a bad thing).
My new fans won’t like me saying this, but while Barack Obama is clearly one of the most hopeless Western leaders at the moment, I haven’t forgiven the Republicans for their disgraceful record under George W. Bush. These supposed conservatives stood by as Bush threw away the wonderful Reagan legacy by signing off on ruinous spending commitments and imposing economically illiterate steel tariffs, as he destroyed ancient civil liberties, and as he sank their country into an ill-conceived and disasterously managed war in Iraq. Britain’s Conservatives, even under Ted Health, have never been that destructive.

The special relationship is over. We gave America years of unwavering support after September 11. And now we see how Barack Obama’s administration repays us.

First, Obama declared that America was “neutral” over the sovereignty of the Falklands, ignoring the clear wishes of the islands’ population. And, second, his Assistant Secretary of State, Philip Crowley, snubbed Britain by failing to use their proper name and instead calling them the “Malvinas”.

I don’t know where Obama learned about diplomacy, but his stinks. I’m normally pro-American, but Mr Obama’s seeming support for Argentinian aggressors, who have no legitimate claim over the Falklands, is gratuitously offensive. So from today, I’m boycotting America as a tourist destination. This summer, I’ll be going to France, not California.

Chris,

If this is out of bounds, I'll just do something else. The woodenboat and sailing forums have political forums (bilge pits) that have perfectly civil, respectful disagreements.

Its not you. I'm not you, but if I were, I'd disband this waste of time room. It brings out the worst in people (kennel rage, if you will).

I was referencing a quote made repeatedly by another here, and even qualified it with an old fashion cliche. If that's too much, then I'll see you on the RTF only.

In fact, I would encourage you to abolish this waste of time forum. It seems like you spend a disproportionate amount of your time here.

I type this in the forum rather than PM, as I have repeatedly been accused of being the forum "tattle tale", when in fact, the banned person and others have pointed out who that "road-type" person really is. If I have something to say, I will say it in public.

Respectfully,

Yes Ken, I happen to enjoy political debate. Unfortunately, as Hews post above demonstrates, this place has a cadre of people with an agenda and inablilty to have a civil discussion without resorting to personal insults.

You and I have disagreed in a very civil manner, and came away what I would consider "friends". Many others also. In case you haven't noticed, there is a cadre of those who constantly launch personal insults, to the point where Yardley, Duck, and several others who dare to disagree with the trio of excellence, have left. The more I ignore them, the more they attempt to drag me into thier cesspools.

The only reason I stick around here is folks like you, franco, cary, and many others who can debate without getting personal.

Even stan cried when I quoted his "headshot" comment. Get it? Its ok to scream HEADSHOT at a liberal or indie, but when I just reference his quote, it gets called. Just sayin.....frankly I don't care. I have far better things to do now that the weather is warming and business is getting ramped up.

If my reference to Stan's comment is taboo, Chris is free to ban me, and Stan and his group can celebrate and self-congratulate. I'll be in the field with the dog, or on the boat. Either way, if this forum can't be conducted in an adult, civil tone, I sure as hell have better things to do. If it can, I enjoy participating.

Chris: if my comments above don't jive, please remove me from the list. I will not be offended in any way, in fact, I will probably thank you. In all honesty, I see more and more of this type of behavior seeping onto the main training forums, and gather less and less useful info there as well. The few accomplished trainers who have something to offer often get mired in insults there as well by these very types.

Stan succeeded in snitching to get Gibson banned, whom I have continued a friendship with on photography forums, and have heard the entire story of what happened. Perhaps he has succeeded in getting me to leave as well.

I will keep in touch, and consider you a friend as well, and will respect any decision you make. For the ounce of good discussion I get here, it costs pounds of fat and sinew.

The type of behavior referred to in those posts has NOT recurred from me. I cannot control others, nor do I give a hoot to. If my reference to another's comment was out of line, fine, I accept responsibility for that and will desist that type of comment. But I have not misled you, and still wondering what the comment about aliases was about? I have not, and will not use aliases. If I have something to say, it will be said under the DNF777 banner. I owe you that. And in return, I don't expect to have inferences to aliases attached to my name.

LIke I said, I will respect whatever decision you make. I would much rather chat with you on the dog fields than on the computer screen anyday, as friends. (as with anyone else here)

For the first time in a long time, the President of the United States is actually distrusted by its allies and not in the least feared by its adversaries. Nor is Mr. Obama now respected by the majority of Americans.

They soon will.

Yes sir. In three days I probably saw easily over 400 birds. I couldn't guess how many our group saw. It was not uncommon to have 80 or so come in off the roost in the morning. They bust up during the day in to smaller groups and of course the hens ease off to lay. We had winds of 30-35 gusting to 50 Sunday and Monday. That made for funny strutting at times.
